The Yin-Side of Letting Go

Bernie Clark offers an insightful yin yoga practice that provides space and time to let go of tension: physically, emotionally and psychologically. By relaxing into these yin poses for several minutes at a time, this class brings to light the value in finding stillness, in the body as well as the mind. Suited for all levels, this practice will leave you feeling open in your hips, side body, and more important, peaceful in your mind. The real beauty in this practice lies in Bernie's delivery of poignant, metaphorical stories, weaved into the sequence.
